Elena Lopez, hita de Bernadette Lovato, was given the reality check of her 10 year old lifetime yesterday. While attending a family barbecue, her little cousin Jake asked, “Is Stella really your Tía or my Auntie Bernadette’s best friend? Why isn’t she my Tía like Bernadette?” Perplexed, she asked her mom, and we here at Zia Sopapilla confirmed, that Tía Stella is in fact, Bernadette’s friend of 23 years. Elena Lopez is currently in recovery pondering what sangre really means.
